Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for editing a scene within a three-dimensional space, comprising: positioning a smart device manipulated by a user within the three-dimensional space so as to generate a set of positioning signals that are generated by a positioning sensor of the smart device; introducing an object that is a pictorial object displayed on a display screen of the smart device within the three-dimensional space; editing the object at a first position within the three-dimensional space when the smart device is at the first position and acquiring the corresponding positioning signals defining the first position, so as to define a status of the object at the first position, wherein the status of the object indicates size of the object, rotary angle of the object or orientation of the object, or a combination thereof; editing the object at a second position when the object is moved with the smart device to the second position defined by the corresponding positioning signals generated by the positioning sensor of the smart device so as to define another status of the object at the second position and a moving track from the first position to the second position within the three-dimensional space for the object, and in which a series of continuous statuses over the moving track are produced; and storing the statuses of the object at the first position, the second position and the moving track within the three-dimensional space, and being ready to be played in reproduction.

2

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, a three-dimensional scene is introduced before the object is edited, and the three-dimensional scene synchronized with positioning signals of the smart device within the three-dimensional space is displayed while the object is edited.

3

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the object is edited by using a touch screen of the smart device so as to generate touch signals for defining status of the object within the three-dimensional space.

4

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein, a three-dimensional scene is introduced before the object is edited, and the three-dimensional scene synchronized with positioning signals of the smart device within the three-dimensional space is displayed while the object is edited.

5

5. A system for editing a scene within a three-dimensional space, operated in a smart device according to the method recited in claim 1 , comprising: a 3D space positioning module, used to obtain positioning signals of the smart device with the three-dimensional space; an image processing module, used to process a pictorial object and a three-dimensional scene within the three-dimensional space, and generate a displayed image in response to positioning signals of the smart device within the three-dimensional space; a display module, used to output the displayed image within the three-dimensional space; a touch-sensitive module, providing a user interface for operating the pictorial object for defining a status of the pictorial object within the three-dimensional space; and a storage module, used to store the three-dimensional scene within the three-dimensional space and the status of the pictorial object within the three-dimensional space at a time and at a position; wherein, when the pictorial object is edited at a first position using the smart device within the three-dimensional space, so as to define the status of the pictorial object at the first position; when the pictorial object is edited at a second position by moving the smart device to the second position within the three-dimensional space, so as to define a moving track from the first position to the second position and a series of continuous statuses, including the moving track from the first position to the second position, of the pictorial object.

6

6. The system according to claim 5 , further comprising an editing instruction set and a playback instruction set stored in a memory of the smart device, the instruction sets include: instructions for gaining positioning signals generated by the smart device within the three-dimensional space; instructions for displaying the three-dimensional scene in response to the positioning signals; instructions for editing status of the pictorial object at different positions and the moving track; instructions for recording change of statuses of the pictorial object at different positions and the moving track; instructions for setting condition for triggering the pictorial object to be played in reproduction; and instructions for triggering the pictorial object for reproduction.

7

7. The system according to claim 6 , further comprising: instruction for synchronizing the three-dimensional scene introduced before the object is edited with the positioning signals of the smart device within the three-dimensional space.

8

8. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the object is edited by using a touch screen of the smart device so as to generate touch signals for defining status of the object within the three-dimensional space.

9

9. A method for editing a scene within a three-dimensional space, comprising: generating positioning signals within a three-dimensional space by a positioning sensor of a smart device when a user manipulates moving the smart device; introducing a first object that is a pictorial object displayed on a display screen of the smart device within the three-dimensional space; editing the first object using the smart device at a first position within the three-dimensional space when the smart device is at the first position and acquiring the corresponding positioning signals defining the first position so as to define a status of the first object at the first position; editing the first object at a second position when moving the smart device with the first object to the second position defined by the corresponding positioning signals generated by the positioning sensor of the smart device for defining a series of continuous statuses of the first object from the first position to the second position within the three-dimensional space for the object; storing a first moving track when the first object moves from the first position to the second position, and the continuous statuses of the first object moving from the first position to the second position; introducing a second object that is also a pictorial object displayed on the display screen of the smart device within the three-dimensional space; editing the second object using the smart device at a third position within the three-dimensional space when the smart device is at the third position and acquiring the corresponding positioning signals defining the first position so as to define status of the second object at the third position; editing the second object at a fourth position when moving the smart device with the second object to the fourth position defined by the corresponding positioning signals generated by the positioning sensor of the smart device for defining a series of continuous statuses of the second object moving from the third position to the fourth position within the three-dimensional space for the object; storing a second moving track when the second object moves from the third position to the fourth position, and the continuous statuses of the second object moving from the third position to the fourth position; and setting conditions for triggering the first object and the second object to be played; wherein the statuses of the first object and the second object indicate size of the object, rotary angle of the first or the second object or orientation of the object, or a combination thereof.

10

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the condition for triggering the first object or the second object to be played is: using a touch screen of the smart device to touch the first object or the second object; using a display screen of the smart device to display the first object at the first position, or display the second object at the third position; starting to watch the three-dimensional scene for a preset time and then triggering the first object or the second object to be played; or starting to play the second object when starting to play the first object for the preset time.
